Apple repair: How much does it takes? (quanto tempo ci vuole??)

hello, I bought a brand new iMac in August. after a week the bluetooth adapter was broken.
I went to the genius bar in Milan (Fiordaliso-Rozzano) and the Genius confirmed the issue.
They ordered the new card and they told me that within a week I would have gotten my imac back.
20 days have passed and on apple website I still see "repair in progress".
I've called 2 times but by the phone they haven't been able to give explanations, and they told me to wait...
I can go pick up my Mac and take it to another repairer? 20 days is too much for a bluetooth adapter!!
buongiorno, ho comprato ad agosto un imac nuovo. dopo una settimana si è rotta la scheda bluetooth. sono andato nel genius bar di milano (rozzano) e hanno confermato la scheda rotta.
hanno ordinato la scheda nuova e mi hanno detto che entro una settimana avrei riavuto il mio imac.
sono passati 20 giorni e risulta ancora Repair in progress.
al telefono non mi hanno saputo dare spiegazioni, e mi hanno detto di pazientare.
posso andare a ritirare il mio mac e portarlo da un altro riparatore autorizzato? 20 giorni sono troppi per una scheda bluetooth!!!!

We are not Apple. We do not know the availability of repair parts. Unless some other repairer has one on hand, it will take just as long or longer to get your computer fixed.
You could contact the location it is being repaired at and ask to have your unit back until the part comes in. I believe that would be a reasonable request.

    Well, you have to download about 1GB of information to get iOS 6.1 on your computer.  I guess you are using a slow internet connection.

  • With apple insurance, how much does it cost to get the home button fixed?

    My home button is not working reliably; I would like to know how much it would cost to get it fixed if I have the apple insurance.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.

  • Apple Maps - How long does it take for a new entry to be approved?

    Like many other small business, my listing is missing in the new Apple Maps app and customers are having difficulty in finding me on their iphones.
    Last Friday I attempted to add my business using these instructions - http://www.didgeroo.com/blog/41-tips-tricks/282-how-to-add-your-business-listing -to-apple-maps  I also added a listing to Yelp.
    It's almost a week now and my business still does not appear when searching Apple Maps. My Yelp listing is there, but nothing in Apple Maps.
    Has anyone had any luck adding their business to Apple Maps? How long did it take to appear after you submitted a report?
    I guess there must be a huge backlog at Apple. Would be nice if the process was more transparent - e.g. details of the approval process would help.

    I'll take a look.  This is pure speculation - I am guessing that the department store updated because there were enough signals from other data sources that confirmed your change.  For example, I believe Apple's primary source of business listings data in Switzerland is TomTom.  If you search for Globus in Zurich in TomTom at https://mycompany.places.tomtom.com/ there is a result for the address Theaterstrasse 12 zurich - http://places.tomtom.com/de_ch/detail/globus/zurich/63747953026467150. 
    So perhaps Apple was getting signals from other data sources that conflicted with TomTom and signaled "EPA". And your update overrode all of the other signals because it matched the TomTom data.  BTW, not sure this means anything, but there are two listings for this business in TomTom.  One of them links to the wrong website I think https://www.google.com/search?oq=site%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&q=si te%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&pws=0
    Of course, it could have been any number of other screw-ups as well
    You may want to search all of the known data suppliers and Google for queries like "epa Theaterstrasse 12 zurich" to try to find the out of date data sources.  If you find any let us know, as this will be a key "paper trail" to figuring out how Apple gets some of it's data.

  • How much does OSX take up on a brand new MBP HD?

    Does anyone know on a Brand new MBP 128 SSD drive....how much is allocated to the OSX?
    Thanks in advance

    You do need to install Windows twice - once under Boot Camp and once under Parallels - but you can legally use the same CD with the same licence for both installations. There is no need to buy two copies.
    There is a program called Monolingual that will assist in removing the additional language support. Be care, as it has removed the components needed to run Rosetta for some users who were not as careful as they should have been.
    Parallels has to run from within OS X, but some people have had success running Windows off of an external drive. I have not tried it, but the instructions can be found HERE.

  • If i order a replacement iphone from apple store how long does it take to get here

    If there is a failure in the iPhone that requires replacement, at the genius bar the iPhone will be replaced while you wait.  If you have an iCloud account and have backed up your present iPhone to iCloud, the techs will restore your content to the new iPhone for you.

  • How much does boot camp take speed from a macbook bro 15

If its possible how much does it take, 50% 30% of the general speed.

    When using Boot Camp, only one OS is running at a time. That OS has sole access to the computer's hardware; it won't affect Mac OS X's performance when running it.

  • Apple has placed a temporary authorization amount hold in my card for repair. My old iphone has been received by apple. how long does it take to release the amount?

    Apple has placed a temporary authorization amount hold in my card for repair. My old iphone has been received by apple. how long does it take to release the amount?

    How long it takes depends partially on your bank. Once they release it, it could take several days for the authorization to roll off of your account. It is generally not a problem unless you're using a debit card, which will lock the funds in your checking account and make them unavailable, which I presume you did or you wouldn't be worried about it.
    This is not unique to Apple. That's a problem when using debit cards for any purchase.  Several years ago, when gas prices spiked to $4 a gallon here, gas stations would routinely authorize and hold upwards of $100 every time you tried to pay at the pump. Created some major headaches for the working stiffs just trying to get to their jobs and pay the bills.

  • How much does it cost to have power button repaired on iPhone 4?

    My power button stopped working last night.  The phone is about a year and a half old.  Never been dropped or damaged.  Unsure why it stopped working.  How much does it cost to have the power button repaired??

    If you take it to an Apple Store, they will take it apart and it may need a simple cleaning to fix it.
    If it needs to be repaired, you will get a refurbished iPhone.

  • If I have the glass how much does apple cost to put replace it.?

    I bought a front glass online I just don't want to install it by myself, how much does it cost for me to take it into apple to replace it.?

    Apple doesn't sell parts, so that is likely counterfeit or salvaged.  Apple will replace your iPhone 4S for $199.  Apple doesn't repair the front screen of the 4S.
